I have queries for 4 of your answers!

Question 15.

Nettan Lindgren & Paula Cook raced in Supertouring. Fiona Legate did not race in Supertouring!

Question 25.

Qustion 28.
Which manufacturer in the BTCC is the only one not to have won a race under the SuperTouring rules?
Rover competed in 1991 = no wins
Mitsubishi competed in 1991 = no wins
Mazda competed from 1992 to 1994 = no wins
Peugeot competed from 1991 to 1998 = no wins.

Thanks for giving us the questions, but at least give us the right answers!

[redshoes]

It all depends on what you mean by 'SuperTouring'. The name SuperTouring wasn't officially adopted until the introduction of wings and splitters in 1995, prior to that in was 'Class 2', and prior to 1992 it was just a the BTCC's own regs with no official name.

If you mean SuperTouring as in post-1995 then Peugeot is the correct answer to question 28, if you mean SuperTouring as in '2 litre BTCC' then cookingfat is correct.

Question 22 doesn't specify if you mean woman who have driven SuperTouring or just woman in the BTCC in general. If the latter then add Louise Aitken Walker, Joanna Clarke and Annie Templeton. If you mean SuperTouring then it's only Paula Cook - Nettan Lindgren pre-dates SuperTouring.

[cookingfat]

Thanks for that Redshoes.

As some of the questions relate back to 1990, I assumed that the 'Supertouring Quiz' covered from the start of the 2 litre class!

Confused?? I am...

[aldorussell1234]

Matt Neal is a cheat? I don't think so...........

I've been a fan since 1996,

For Ten Years Ive been watching BTCC,

Matt Neal is one of the most experienced and talented drivers in the championship and according to the points standings, he's the best.

Thankyou
